European masters endeavored to create visions of sensual paradise concurrent with the political utopianism of the age by arraying dabs of pastel to convey gardens, canals and the like while subject, style, and color coaxed and relaxed viewers into bubble-bath bliss. American painters such as Walter Farndon, N.A., took a while to learn of the trends emanating from the Romantic school, but were not long to follow suit...
...industry has a good reason for resisting changes in this cold bath, known to critics as "fecal soup": the process allows chickens to become waterlogged. Regulations allow as much as 8% of a chicken's weight to be water, which consumers pay for as if it were meat. "When it comes to chicken," says Jack Leighty, a retired director of the USDA's pathology division, "water is big business." So big, in fact, that Tyson alone would lose about $40 million in annual gross profits if the 8% rule were repealed. One study has shown that cross-contamination...
Still, the last week was an emotional bath for both men, who have worked together for 19 years, ever since Katzenberg joined Eisner at Paramount Pictures.

For July he was allotted 6 lbs. of rice, 10 oz. of beans, 1/2 lb. of oil, 3 lbs. of sugar, 1 oz. of coffee, one bar of bath soap, three packs of cigarettes. No meat. In May it was rice, beans, sugar and coffee; no oil; no soap; no cigarettes; two cans of beer. No meat. Yet Eugenio will not be rafting. He is a master of resolviendo -- the Cuban art of barter, the cut corner, the gray market. His wife works in a cigarette...
...national spotlight, his career has combined the shrewd manipulation of an instinctive demagogue with the abandon of a swinging Sybarite. Zhirinovsky has slugged fellow lawmakers in the halls of parliament, hobnobbed with ex-Nazi storm troopers in Austria and posed, au naturel, for photographers while cavorting in a steam bath in Serbia. He has been kicked out of or denied access to nearly half a dozen European countries. He has threatened to restore Russia's imperial borders, annex Alaska, invade Turkey, repartition Poland, give Germany "another Chernobyl," turn Kazakhstan into a "scorched desert" and employ large fans to blow radioactive...
